Waste Energy is an early-stage company that intends to convert non-recyclable waste tires and plastics into fuel and industrial commodities. The company uses a thermal process called pyrolysis to break down materials at high temperatures without combustion, producing tire-derived oil, recovered carbon black, scrap steel, and syngas. Waste Energy employs a double-sided business model, charging tipping fees to waste generators to accept feedstock while selling the resulting outputs to industrial buyers and recyclers. The company also aims to monetize environmental credits and license an AI-based emissions monitoring platform. Waste Energy has no commercial operations and is currently developing its first facility in Midland, Texas, which it expects to be operational in Q3 2026. This facility uses a 15-ton-per-day waste conversion system that the company plans to use as a modular proof of concept for expansion near waste sources and energy demand centers. Since its incorporation in 2010, the company has transitioned through multiple business models, including literary agency services, blockchain consulting, and digital assets, before pivoting to waste-to-energy in 2024. Waste Energy operates with only two executive officers and depends on independent contractors for engineering and operational tasks. The company currently lacks material offtake agreements or the scale of its larger competitors.
